Personal Narrative: My Job In The World Trade Center

Just like every Tuesday, Jane got up and ready for work. She got up at her usual time, about six AM, had a cup of coffee before she got her kids up and ready for school. As she’s helping her three year old daughter brush her teeth, Jane’s husband came in and said his final goodbyes to his wife. Sadly, neither Jane nor her husband knew that though. After about 7:45 AM Jane had her kids dropped off at school or preschool and was now on her way to work at The World Trade Center. September 11th use to be just a normal day in September until terrible events happened; these events changed America’s homeland security, started a war, and a memorial in New York.

The news was on giving updates on the weather, famous people, and even regular TV shows were going. 92 people were boarded and taking off on the American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 around 7:59 am September 11, 2001.

A tragedy was happening, a plane had crashed into one of the trade center towers.

September 11, 2001 is a day that no American will ever forget. That day has left a mark on each an everyone of us. That day is commonly known as ‘9/11’ and was the longest day in New York City. Everyone needs to know the dangers of each day, no matter if you see if coming or not. No one on that day know what life changing experience they would go through. Shortly after arriving to work in September 11, 2001, the attacks took place. Flights 11, 77, 93, and 175 were hijacked early in the morning and the crashed occurred shortly after. Not only were the Twin Towers hit that day, but the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania were hit. There are many survivors who shared their incredible stories.

Manhattan. September 11, 2001. Until this day the eleventh of september had always been a regular day, a usual day, a safe day. It was a beautiful Tuesday morning when thousands of workers had begun to make their way to the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Washington DC. Eager tourists and home sick patrons made their way to the airport and catch planes California bound. What they don’t know is that 19 hijackers from the terrorist group, Al Qaeda have also scrambled their way to the planes. What happened then would change American way of life forever.

When I woke up everything was blurry and I could barely breath, then I started hearing noises like people talking the movement of materials and debris there were people crying and people laughing and I was happy to be alive then some firemen came over and lifted up the debris and materials of me and my son was alive, which made me happy. My son and I were rushed to the hospital where we were checked out but we only had a few minor burns, but I had a huge scrape on my arm. April 19 1995, was a very devastating day for me and my family, but at least I'm safe and so was my child. The news showed the devastation and what had happened today.

September 11, 2001, was a terrible day in my whole life. In ways, I can never imagine. My alarm clock buzzed and woke me up at around 6:00 am in the morning. I stared at my calendar and it was September 11, 2006, my 18th birthday.

Little children are born imbued with a rosy outlook on life- we see the good, and look over the ugly parts, firmly believing in redemption and hope. But we soon grow up- and that rosy outlook fades as the truths of the society in which we live begin to take hold. Some of my earliest experiences with the cruelty and injustices of the world are derived from the attacks on 9/11. I was little, but I remember seeing the towers falling on TV- my parents staring at the news in horror. I remember the sadness in my heart and my inability to understand how someone could do something that horrible. I still remember the discussions being held in our living room shortly thereafter, about Saddam Hussein’s execution. I did not understand much, but I knew

She thought about how unfair it was for countless of innocent people to go to work only to end up suffering and dying.

Sitting in my office felt like any other day. The sun was shining through my window, I could hear the elevators doors opening and closing, and the smell of coffee seeped into my office. But then, the sound of all of the voices ceased as we felt a rumble in the floor beneath us. I turned to look at my watch, it was 8:45 a.m. on September 11, 2001. I thought my eyes must have been deceiving me as I watched my office walls split apart. Then I heard the footsteps running down the stairs as well as

At approximately 8:40, there was a sudden shake in the building. Nobody thought of it at first, but then the fire alarms went off. I was 5 floors below the accident the happened. I heard screams of terror and saw people running down the flights of stairs floor by floor, i stood there not knowing what was happening. Until i turned and saw the news, of a plane that hit the north twin tower floors 93-99, me being on the 88 floor didn't know what was really happening until

News outlets interviewed people who had escaped people who had escaped the terror and the people who lost loved ones. History.com states,” ... Television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 18 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767–United Airlines Flight 175–appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center and sliced into the south tower near the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below.” September 11th was a time of

The subway stopped suddenly in the tunnel and everyone screamed. The lights started to flicker and then they shut off. We were stopped for over three hours, then we started to go again. I got off the train and realized the whole New York City was in ruins. I ran to my apartment to look for my family, and they were gone. Everyone, besides the six of us who were on the train, were gone.

I am working alongside my supervisor Larry Dill and team Tianyuan and Alan to create a survey that will serve as a foundation to easily extract data from our clients. The information given to us in the survey will allow us to create a regression model that will allow us to better serve businesses in our state. My responsibilities include analyzing data and making sure that it is necessary for usage, conduct searches through Avention to find businesses that are a match for our model, and finally to aid in the regression model. I am working on creating a foundation for future use that will allow interns to spot trends more efficiently. We will be going county by county in the central region finding all of the manufactures in Missouri, and then contacting them about enhancing their global presence and exporting.
